The act of attacking a friend, crush, significant other or total stranger with constant, unwanted text messages. Usually several consecutive texts in a few short minutes, these textual assaults may take the form of a long message broken up into several texts, random thoughts, late night booty texts, mass text invites or even, simply a bunch of insatiable requests from attention whores. Textual assaults should not be taken lightly. Tell a trusted individual immediately if you feel that you have been textually assaulted in any way. Feel free to put on the silencer.
